Michael Boo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Don Warren turns 80 today. He's the only President the corps has ever had. He founded the corps as a 19-year-old scoutmaster. (And what were the rest of us doing at that age? :) ) He is retiring as President after 60 years. With Jim Jones of the Troopers, he co-created the idea for DCI and saw it to fruition. If you haven't bought his book, "Building the Green Machine," you might want to check it out here. Happy birthday, Don! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bawker Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The "Old Man" is the stuff of legend; what an amazing gift he's given to all of us over the years. What a great run! ( . . .and anyone who hasn't read "Green Machine" should do so in the off-season. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 shouldn't that be "founder and still president" No. It's a Cavalier thing. He's always been the President and still Founder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vferrera Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 No. It's a Cavalier thing. He's always been the President and still Founder. and it's a good thing he found that still. otherwise, he might not have lasted 60 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esch Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Mr. Warren has always been one of my heroes and one of the greatest things about his corps through the years is his continued influence. The Troopers were always a reflection of the vision of Mr. Jones, as was the Vanguard and Gail Royer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And thanks......
